C8 GLUCOSYL( BETA) CERAMIDE (D18:1/8:0)

Application

C8 Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) or D-glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine has been used as a stock solution for the in vitro treatment of bacteria and to study the role of sphingolipids on pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis (CF). It may be suitable for the preparation ofliposomes. It may also be used as a standard for the quantification of mitoxantrone in tumor by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
